Hello. Now when boot command isn't in kernel anymore I don't see why
loader.c stays in kernel. Here is the patch to move it to boot.mod
This is not useful in reality, because the loader interface needs to be
pre-loaded into core.img anyway.
Why? I successfully tested core.img with just pc fat and biosdisk
modules integrated. It loads boot.mod just fine and boots linux and
multiboot with no problem
Try the rescue mode with no extra module loaded. If the core.img does not have
any loader, it is useless.
If it's unable to read FS then it can't boot much anyway. If it's it can
load modules from its own partition. The only use I see is when grub
partition is corrupted but OS one is intact and you already have FS
driver for root in grub2.
Alternatively commands/boot.c can be a part of minicmd

modules, the more the size of core.img is, as long as they are all
pre-loaded.
